anna_wingThe price of paper masks is rising sharply here as cases rise, so I have advised the locals in the office of a simple hack to pass along in their home neighbourhoods for all the people who cannot afford to keep buying them:
1 Make yourselves double-layer cloth masks from whatever cloth is available, leaving the sides of the internal layer open to act as a filter pocket for a paper filter.
2 Before you throw away your paper mask after using it, cut out the nose-wire and save it.
3 Drop the nose-wire in some boiling water.
4 Stitch it into your cloth mask to make it fit better.
